Oh uggber, I mean rubber!

I love the ambergris meme.... "it's worth thousands to the US perfume industry".

No it isn't.  The US considers all ambergris (not just black ambergris) to be covered by CITES and its a criminal offence to sell it.

Love it !!!

I haven't dug back to the start of that story, but I'm suspecting a cunning publicity dept at the film company.

From the comments:

Quote
The Police should take ghosts far more seriously. Once caught they should be unmasked. How many crimes are committed by people pretending to be ghosts ! There was the old man from the amusement park, there was the janitor, there was old man smithers, there was the old woman from the lighthouse, there was the guy who was looking for buried treasure in the old mine although he dressed up as the miner 49er, they would have all gotten away with it if it hadn't been for those meddling kids and that dumb dog. The Police need to take Ghost crime more seriously or run the risk of looking like a cartoon force.
